At approximately 8:30 last night, Master Trooper Kevin Waters responded to Fester’s Bar located at 10301 East SR 62, Mt. Vernon, after receiving a report a female customer was inside the bar performing a strip tease.  When Waters arrived he was greeted outside by an employee who informed him the female had left the property. While still outside talking to the employee a truck pulled into the lot. The driver of the truck had attempted to take the woman home, but he brought her back to the bar after she attempted to scratch him and refused to give him directions to her home. When Waters approached the woman he detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage. She also appeared to be extremely intoxicated.  She was provided an opportunity to try and call someone to pick her up, but she kept dropping her phone and turning it off and on.  After she attempted to put Trooper Waters in a headlock and continued to yell at the driver that brought her back to the bar, she was arrested.  While inside the patrol car she also kicked the window.  She was taken to the Posey County Jail where she continued to be uncooperative. She is currently being held on bond.

 

Arrested and Charges:

  • Amber Carter, 34, 2226 W. Illinois Street, Evansville, IN
  1. Public Intoxication, Class B Misdemeanor
  2. Disorderly Conduct, Class B Misdemeanor

Dr. Bucshon Statement on Keystone XL Pipeline Project

0

(WASHINGTON, DC) –Today the U.S. House of Representatives passed approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline project as amended and passed by the U.S. Senate.

Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (IN-08) released the following statement after voting again to approve the pro-energy, pro-jobs, and pro-national security project:

“The State Department’s own report confirms that construction of the Keystone XL pipeline will create over 40,000 American jobs and have minimal impact on the environment,” said Bucshon. “This project is a no-brainer. Over 60 percent of the American people, industry leaders, and union workers support the project. It’s been properly vetted over 6 years and thousands of pages of review by the State Department. It’s passed both chambers of Congress with the support of Democrats and Republicans. The President is the only obstacle in the way of the good-paying jobs and energy security this project will support.  I sincerely hope the President reconsiders his ideological position and signs this bill into law.”

Governor Pence Joins Fellow Governors in Calling on President Obama to Reconsider Keystone XL Pipeline

0

 

Indianapolis – Governor Mike Pence today joined 23 other governors from across the nation in calling on President Obama to reconsider his stated decision to veto the Keystone XL pipeline legislation passed by Congress.

 

The letter states, “We hope you will take into account the will of the vast majority of Americans who support this project, including our constituents, and sign legislation approving the pipeline when it reaches your desk.” The letter in full can be found attached.

 

“Indiana’s strong manufacturing sector would benefit economically from the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline,” said Governor Pence. “I urge President Obama to reconsider the pipeline as part of an ‘all of the above’ energy strategy and job creator, benefitting Hoosier manufacturers and workers across the nation while contributing to our country’s energy independence.”

 

In April 2014, Governor Pence sent a letter to President Obama urging him to approve the Keystone XL pipeline.
